December 14th, 2006:Dudes it was my 900th comic yesterday! Sort of! I think some of the numbers are missing due to problems when I moved to my database-driven backend, but we will ignore that. 900 comics! That means in 100 comics it will be 1000 comics! Will Dinosaur Comics explode when that happens? WILL YOU?? There is one way to find out. Thank you everyone for making doing these comics such an enjoyable thing to do, and also my job! It is the best job in the world and I feel awesome at parties explaining to people what I do and they don't get how it is even possible

So hey, what about Child's Play? It is a charity organized by
the Penny Arcade dudes that sends toys, games and money to hospitals in need, so that children staying there can have a slightly better time when they're away from their families. 100% of the money raised goes to this cause: there's no administration fees or anything! It is a very good charity.

Inspired by David's
good example, I am putting up my own auction!
100% of the money raised from this auction will go to Child's Play. This is an auction for the second painting I ever did! Well actually it is the fourth, since I did the first three all at once and sold them as a set last year. THIS painting is black and white and shows T-Rex stomping on a tiny woman, who is so intense that a starburst radiates from her very head. Also there are halftone dots for that pop-art flair. I painted it when I was sad, therefore it is black and white! That is how emotions work, everyone. That is how emotions work in artists.

GUESS WHAT JUST CAME OUT: IT'S MY NEW BOOK!! If you've ever wondered what you'd do if you were stranded in the past, wonder no longer! With HOW TO INVENT EVERYTHING, you'll reinvent civilization from scratch, no matter what time period you're in. You'll become the single most influential, decisive, and important person ever born. You'll make history...
